These trivialities aside, I entered Striaton City with a little excitement, because as I understood it, here lay the first gym...THE FIRST-GYM. What type will it be? Something mad? Something controversial? We haven't had a psychic gym in a while, wouldn't that be exotic? And it would match some of the local Pokemon.
The local Pokemon. Found at the Dreamworks. Alright, let me explain what happened here for just a second - as soon as I turn up to this place, some stoopid Professor or assistant starts yammering on about an invention. Now, whilst Professor Oak invented the Pokedex, which is pretty useful and Professor Elm studied Pokemon eggs...this Professor had constructed some sort of giant bed, with absolutely no useful function. Whatsoever. Even later in the game, I can't think why I would want to see Pokemon dreams - yet I am tasked with retrieving some bollocks to make it work from some Team Plasma member. Was it a pokemon or piece of machinery? I forget. Anyway, I'm like, "Sister, I'm just here to win badges, I don't want to get involved with fighting a terrorist organisation" - but apparently I have no choice, so I trudge off to some dump called The Dreamworks.
Naturally I assumed that The Dreamworks would be something of a wonderland, full of colour and odd jiggery pokery - a bit like Willy Wonkas Chocolate Factory. Anyway, it was a dump. I think I saw some cans, it had some cans. Bianca turned up and started whining and being useless and I was forced to fight some awful Team Plasma member who was something, something - I really just wanted to get out of there because it was the middle of the night.
Whilst there, some person offered to give me a Pokemon though, FOR FREE! I was like "AAW, TITS! FREE POKEMON!" But it was Panpour. Panpour looks like this:
I actually feel a little mean now. I'd better go back and train Dilly up again, just out of decency for the poor little guy...he does look silly though.
Since it was only Pendragon and I at this point and with no sign of even an old rod, a water pokemon was just the ticket. But I just couldn't bring myself to keep the thing in my squad, it didn't even look funny silly (as I would later discover Woobat did) it just looked stoopid and I'm a shallow kind of guy and I didn't need Panpour, who I named Dilly, cramping the style of my squad...which admittedly, contained one other Pokemon. So I crammed him into a box and after dealing with that boring Professor, went on over to the FIRST, POKEMON, GYM. At this point, someone told me that I was in a restaurant and would I like some fresh water before fighting the gym leaders - hummana-waa!?
These guys sucked beans. There were basically three brothers who each had one of these ridiculous monkey pokemon each. Their gym had the audacity to explain to me in the simplest terms that fire beats grass, grass beats water and water beats fire and that rock beats scissors. They tested me on them, before challenging me to fight only one of them! Why not just have one of you with three Pokemon for me to beat!? Instead, they shoved forward the fire-pokemon brother, since they knew that was my starter Pokemon's weakenss. I found this an exceedingly easy battle, because Pendragon was alreayd boasting some strength at Level 15 anyway. I took my badge and bid Striaton City an overdue smell ya later. I hate to be impatient with Pokemon, but the while place was a big waste of time and I wanted out of there before some other moron roped me into a meaningless chore.
